José José Aún Te Echamos de Menos

♪ (Música) ♪

I no longer think of you

And when I do, I don’t cry like I did yesterday

I’ve finally convinced myself

That a long time ago, a very long time ago, I lost you

I’ve come to accept

That I can’t count on the support of your love

I’ve grown accustomed

To not searching for you when your warmth is missing

I no longer think of you

At last, I’ve managed not to always be thinking of you

I’ve taught myself to live

With the bitterness of your absence and your goodbye

If you could do without me

If you left here what I gave to you

I no longer think of you

And when I do, I don’t cry like I did yesterday

♪ (Música) ♪

If you could do without me

If you left here what I gave to you

I no longer think of you

And when I do, I don’t cry like I did yesterday
